Care given to a baby or new family after birth, including kangaroo mother care, cooling therapy for newborns with encephalopathy and the Dutch and Belgian kraamzorg postnatal home service. An entry belongs here when its own source describes care in the first weeks after birth. It excludes fertility treatment and delivery procedures. Each member is a reproductive and fertility treatment entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
